No, gentoo does not become dependent on a proprietary metadata. |
| 27 |
The metadata is in the git repository. How someone communicates a change |
| 28 |
to other maintainers is up to him and that may as well happen via |
| 29 |
VoIP... you want people to record their talk and then upload it to |
| 30 |
bugzilla? No, I won't, because it was encrypted and private. |
| 31 |
The same applies for IRC, where you could argue we don't have full |
| 32 |
control over the infrastructure and as a result, no one is allowed to |
| 33 |
discuss stuff there, but only on bugzilla. This really makes no sense. |
